"smart" software
1) Grab webbwrowser
2) Enter URL
3) Figure out that webbrowser doesn't want to use HTTP because ... saturday? I don't know, but ass'u'me'ing that some URLs are ftp is just, well stupid, because your heuristic is whack.
Or, even more beautiful:
I have no idea what this means, so I'll be explicitly writing http:// at the beginning of all URL I offer to Firefox. And Clementine just got a free travel to behind the barn, where it'll get properly retired - after all it doesn't do the simple job it was hired to do. Ok, before it randomly didn't play "some" music files because gstreamer, which makes no sense either, but open rebellion will not have happy results.
I guess the moral of the story is: Don't misengineer things, clementine should output music and not be a bus driver. Firefox should not interpret-dance the URLS offered to it, but since it's still less retarded than the competition it'll be allowed to stay a little bit longer.
Sigh. Doesn't anyone engineer things anymore?
